    Let's bump this thread. One for you here, Stuart.
  2. HistoricCoinage
    Thanks. It's not quite 1, yet, so Special Delivery could be kind but I'm predicting not until Monday.

    And there's no image of the reverse. My guess would be someone who buys them purely for their artistic merit.

    There's got to be more than one person willing to pay a premium, as they wouldn't reach this price otherwise. As for why, I'm not sure. This one sold for £320.

    The buyer seems to have spent at least a hundred or even three hundred on every enamelled piece he's bought.

    Brilliant. Cheers, Paulus!

    Do we know how long DNW normally take to dispatch lots? I've only ever collected in person before.
  8. HistoricCoinage
    Three here, too.

    I quite like the idea of Noble Gibbons.

    Apparently no offer has been brought to the table, so nothing's yet set in stone. I'll be keeping a keen eye on how this pans out.

    It looks like SG want to venture deeper into coins, to the tune of £42 million - not too sure I'm pleased but I'm doubtful it'll go through. http://www.standard.co.uk/business/business-news/stanley-gibbons-eyeing-a-bid-for-coins-firm-noble-at-42m-8811700.html

    Does that mean we now have dibs, Stuart?
  13. HistoricCoinage
    I know that feeling all too well!

    I'm looking for very high grade William IV and young head Victoria full sovereigns. Please PM me or email me. Thanks.

    Most likely an issue with their server. I'm glad it's back up, ready for tomorrow.
  16. HistoricCoinage
    Works fine for me. Are you still experiencing issues?

    Aww. His mommy probably loved him. And this was probably her : Leopold_I_coin_2.jpg

    Whilst the Monogram issue isn't renowned for its great portrait they're not normally as bad as this...

    'Stylised A' mintmark on this fine detailed VF obverse! Saxby's has always been a byword for things to avoid IMHO. Thankfully the listings always used to be obvious and so easily avoided. Not looked recently though. I'll have a few Matildas if you don't mind. Well, maybe not. They always list continental hammered coins as "British found" which was fine, until their eBay feedback showed bulk purchases of coins from the continent...

    Another conveniently misidentified coin by Saxby's. First they were selling buckets of Edward V pennies, now coins of Matilda...

    You're going to lend me yours, Peter? How much whisky have you had tonight?

    I just got an email from Warwick & Warwick saying the following: Now, I don't know about you, but I don't consider 400 miles away as "in my area"... There's a gremlin in the system as I certainly didn't enter my location incorrectly.

    Peter has retired due to ill health. But a gentleman called Geoff designed and made the first cabinets with Peter in the 1960's is working alongside the son, Ben, who is a partner making the cabinets in Nottingham. It's still going strong!

    Most dealers there I'd never heard of, Clive, and looking them up afterwards quite a few have no internet presence at all, which is remarkable. Quite old school in a way - it almost felt a bit "underground", compared to the mainstream I'm used to swimming in. Welcome to the dark side, old chap.

    Blimey, Declan. Whose stock did you run off with?
